may have found a solution

Question is it ok to start the car with the valve cover off?

The mechanical sound you are hearing when the key is turned to the accessory position is probably the fuel pump. What do you mean the car doesn't catch? And its NOT ok to start the car with the valve cover off...oil will shoot everywhere and dust and debri will get on the valvetrain.
